Director's Biography
Robert Tartell, a native of upstate New York, now calls Houston home. Variously a farm hand, dishwasher, factory worker, pilot, Army officer and practicing G.P., he brings a wealth of experience to his writing and directing, with a focus on comedy, and looks to shine a special light on life based on broad and varied experience. His goal: be stimulating, thought-provoking, and hopefully, produce a few laughs.
